Squirrels get my vote as worst home orchard pest.  Deer are easy to exclude and grow trees above.  Bears, I'm not sure about, so far we only have wandering males that haven't stayed into harvest season.
 
The solution to bears I read about is using a nail gun and sheets of ply-wood at the base of fruit trees.  I don't think you even have to stake the nailed ply-wood into the ground.  The bears just give up.
